For person to person transactions, I almost always pay by check or PayPal (which is free when paying a friend or family member). When I stick...
Anything that’s post Barber and pre-what-we-have-now. In particular: Indian Head Cents. Mercury Dimes. Walking Liberty Halves (except that nobody...
Merging ideas from another thread. I think the real danger to future collecting is the trend toward a cashless society.
That’s sort of funny to read that in a blog dedicated to collecting coins. In fact it seems like most of us are jumping through some hoops or...

Before you do -- you should know that the 2020 edition is coming out very shortly (a week or two?), and there are some great deals on pre-orders...
For how many decades have we known that: the dollar coin will never take off unless the paper dollar is eliminated. (I also agree: the 1/2-dollar...
